Social Work and Technology Resources

I had the pleasure of chatting online with students in Elizabeth Lightfoot‘s Social Work in Cyberspace course tonight. Liz is at the University of Minnesota and it’s been great fun to connect with her about technology in social work. Here are some resources from tonight’s chat:

I would add, Aunt Bertha(shameless plug), but I seriously mean it. Aunt Bertha is a human service software company that wants to make access to human service programs easy to find via the web. Basically, our crowdsourcing ideal is this. If we can get every senior BSW and every MSW in america to enter their field placement into our database,(which is always and will continue to be free for clients and social workers)… we would have the world’s first crowd-sourced human service directory that not only makes access to need-based services fast, but allows a social worker to focus relationship building instead of trying to track a food pantry in a particular neighborhood. Once again, I don’t want to make this appear unbiased, I am the community manager at Aunt Bertha, but I truly believe that we with shared decision making and ideas can make access to information easier(rant over). Let me know if you want to talk about this some more!
